Loose Poppies (Part 1)


 This is the first of two lessons from a tutorial by Paul Clark.

Clean water was first applied to the watercolor paper (Canson 140 lb. cold press), where a bit of an outline had already been drawn. I added in some loose brush strokes, lots of splatter, salt and the white General's Pastel Chalk Pencils and then there was almost a painting. It wasn't much of a picture until I add some detail with leaves and helped the buds. I used Winsor Newton Cotman watercolor tubes for the painting.

I really love it!

This is just gorgeous, Carla! Not to diminish your art, but I would love to have a design like this on my favorite mug. It would certainly brighten my studio and make my crafting days brighter. Thanks for sharing your awesome talent with us at A Place To Start!
